Lord my baby got some red shoes on, Silk stockings and a satin gown. But my baby don’t pay that no mind, ‘Cause my baby looks so fine.
Lord my baby got some auburn hair, Ruby lips, and such a flare. She got legs that go from here to over there, But my baby don’t mind.
Well me and my baby we like to go, steppin’ out. Dancing and drinking and laughing and singing and carryin’ on. When we go out it’s always a good time, And my baby looks fine.
I love the way that she folds my cloths. The way she looks in my Mustang Ford. But my baby don’t pay that no mind, ‘Cause my baby, lord she is mine.
You know my baby, she’s real wise. So don’t get cute boys, you’ll be in for a surprise. You know my baby don’t even look at other guys, She don’t pay them no mind.
When were out walkin’ all other couples, stop and stare. Gazin’ and gawkin’ and shoutin’ and screamin’, “How unfair!” A goddess like that is so rare, But she don’t pay that no mind.
Sometimes she’s glib, and talks small talk, But she ain’t foolin’ when she walks the walk. She’s major league, she don’t balk, It’s first class or no way at all.
Well my baby she’s not here or there. And she may seem like she don’t care. I’ll tell you what boys and you can say you heard it here, Lord my babe does mind.
Ain’t been no woman that ain’t never cared the way she looked. And always tried to look her best and act real fine. So when she says that she don’t mind, Then you know that she is lyin’.
You may think my opinion’s askew, And you may claim that I got altered views. But I tell you what I’ve seen firsthand, You gotta believe what I’m tellin’ you man.
Don’t get me wrong my gal is out of sight! I’m just warnin’ you in case she might, Tell you wrong when you know that you’re right. You better pay her some mind, You better pay her some mind.
